I agree with Po. Frame for sure, and probably splash. For those playing at home, I say frame because of the body white, and splash because of the high front white and the blaze 'slipping' off the face to one side.

Mods, grant me the serenity to see the opinions I cannot change, courage to change the ones that should change, and the wisdom to spot the trolls.

He's a Frame Overo (also known as just "Frame," or just "Overo")
That's the jagged white spots.

I also go with the others on the splash white. The white on the face, the high white on his one leg and the white on his stomach that slips up, are all characteristics of splash white.

As for color he can't be a Dun unless you know that's in his genes. The "Dorsal stripe" could be countershading which a lot of horses have without having the dun gene.
I also believe he's a Sorrel paint.
People's opinions differ on the difference between sorrel and chestnut. Some think they are the same, others call one for Western horses and the other for English. Personally I believe if the mane and tail match the body color of the horse it's a Sorrel. If it's lighter it's a Chestnut.

Sorrel and chestnut ARE the same colour, they are just different shades being called different names based on area and disciplines.

A sorrel is typically the lighter, orange shades of the colour, while chestnut is the dark, more brown colour (also referred to as "liver chestnut" if even darker). A sorrel/chestnut with a light, blonde-coloured mane and tail has a gene called flaxen and is just called a flaxen sorrel or flaxen chestnut.

I was always taught different. But like I said there are so many different opinions on how the colors are used etc.
